Death From the Druid's Grove
|
|
October, 1851. After millions of visitors and months of success, the Great Exhibition is winding down. Mr. Niall Kier and Miss Kara Levett are busy with the celebrations planned for the last weeks—and with all the commissions their involvement has brought them. Their artistic works stall, though, when the closing ceremonies are interrupted by a murder.
Suddenly, a friend is under suspicion and the murder has been linked to the Druid’s Grove, the secret society in which Niall is a member and Kara has just been inducted. They dive in, hoping to quickly clear their ally’s name, except nothing is simple in the Grove and no one is exactly who they seem to be.
Niall and Kara put their talents and resources to work once more, but they find that old, sinister secrets might be behind the present-day bloodshed. And as they investigate, it appears someone might also be digging about in Niall’s mysterious past.

5 Stars-The mystery is excellently crafted and delivered as is the subplot involving Niall and his secrets. There are also some lovely poignant scenes between Kara and Niall that make you wonder how the two will ever overcome all of the obstacles in the way of their HEA.
I can definitely recommend this excellently written, nicely paced mystery. I would also like to petition Dragonblade Publishing to extend the contract on this series to include more books. I’d love to have more of Kara and Niall to look forward to.

Five stars, I loved this book and cannot wait for the next one. Thank you for bring us into this new world of yours, Ms. Marlowe. Beautiful fun book with a touch of a spark of beginning romance for our two leads. You must pick up this book if you like historical mysteries, historical romances or just a good well plotted and written book.

5 stars- The slow-burn relationship between Kara and Niall is delightfully angsty in this book. We get both characters' points of view as they contemplate their feelings. Niall's instinct is to flee when things get complicated, but he's conflicted. Kara has continued to break out of her protective shell and is disappointed by the idea of Niall leaving London. There are some beautiful, satisfying scenes between them that make me wish a third book was already here.

5 Stars - Marlowe’s portrayal of Kara Levett, the rather stunning young woman with position and riches, who lives the life she wants constructing automations in Victorian England is brilliant!Niall Kier, the rather gorgeous and mysterious Scot who forges masterpieces, panels of wrought iron, is equally as fascinating. The plot captivated me! As the story ended I was left wondering just how quickly Deb Marlowe’s pen can produce the next in the series? Soon, I hope!
